Would you bid on this 2015 platinum eagle?

If so, how much? The Mint sold these for $1,250. Yes, I know this is the sellers first listing and he is from Bulgaria, but you have to start sometime and from somewhere. At least it's graded...lol

Why is the grade and cert number hidden?

 

Tell him to send you a picture of the full obverse of the slab. If he won't, forget him and his coin.

 

Too many red flags for me: seller in Bulgaria, moderately high dollar item, 0 feedback, no grade/cert # showing.

 

I just asked him for grade and cert number on it. its says 69 down below.. but asked him anyways

 

I agree with the others. Move on. Too much can go wrong here.

 

Way to big a risk IMHO.

 

On Feb. 14 same exact photo listing with same coin he sold for $1,785... Probably a scoundrel trying to make quick fraud and run with the money.

 

Does ebay protect you if the guy is a scamster ?

 

I just bid on it for fun, looks like I've been outbid. So what is NGC's position if the coin is fake in a fake NGC holder?

 

They probably would tell you not to bid on it. If you did, they would tell you to take it up with eBay. Your the one who got scammed, not them. Your the one who would need to file a complaint and take legal action. There is no easy way to get out of the problem once your in. When it's outside of the United States, a lot of your legal options are not enforceable; for no other reason but lack of foreign involvement or interest.

 

Pay AFTER you get the coin !!

 

No way Jose! No way would I waste my time bidding on that scary looking coin! Too big of a risk!

 

In a word, NO!

 

Negative Ghostrider, no way, no way, no way! I have sold over 3000 items on ebay and have 100% rating I worked hard for. I have dealt with shady buyers and sellers many times and would never give this the time of day. Like others said, too many red flags. I'm sure you can find one elsewhere at a better price and comfort level.

 

NO! Don't bid on this! This seller is in Bulgaria and has NO track record of sales. Even if he had several thousand sales I would not bid on this because there is no legal recourse for selling fakes from that part of the world. I think of Bulgaria dealers as west China and I don't buy anything from China because of the large numbers of fake coins and fake slabs that come out of there. Spend your money with an American dealer!

 

I asked him some questions an received no answers... but he has six bidders so far.. agree NO WAY JOSE

 

Buy American!

That can be risky enough in coins without dealing with Timbuktu.

 

Don't do it Top!... 100:1 says this is what you'll receive

 

No I wouldn't and there is really no reason too, plenty of these are listed
